"Les Fleurs du Mal" by Charles Baudelaire is a volume of French poetry first published in 1857. This groundbreaking collection explores themes of decadence, eroticism, suffering, and death through unconventional imagery and forms. Six poems were censored upon release for immorality, sparking prosecution and controversy. The work broke with poetic tradition and became a cornerstone of symbolist and modernist movements. Now recognized as a major achievement in French literature, it profoundly influenced
poets including Verlaine, Rimbaud, and Mallarmé. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
